I said it. Time is worth money! How much would a new loadcenter cost? He already said that it is going to cost him about $60 to make this panel work. If he has to run around buying parts he is loosing time that could be spent making money. I don't know what the rates are in his area but around me you can charge between $75 - $100/hr so it does not take long to make up the cost for a relative inexpensive item. If this was my project I would just buy a new panel and make up the cost somewhere else.
